Nice to see someone else hired, that has been fired several times before. It clearly is a who you know type of business. I still have no faith in the new HWs, they will come in with a bang and end with a bust.

the way I interpreted Tomlin's move was that he wanted to make sure he had someone at the end of the line to make sure that his vision is brought to life to a T. The characters will most likely talk, act, etc exactly like Tomlin wants them to. The only plus to Tomlin not being an EP is that he can't stop the actors from rephrasing while shooting. We'll have to wait and see what happens, but I suspect that the characters we "know and love oh so much" from Higley's reign of terror will be back in full force.
